Māori culture is woven throughout the history of rugby in New Zealand, through the players, communities, and clubs. It’s part of who the All Blacks are.
Gilbert proudly presents these specially designed rugby balls by artist Dave Burke (Ngai Tahu), recognising and celebrating the profound connection between Māori culture and New Zealand’s national game.
Manu symbolises the travel of the Māori All Blacks - like birds flying in formation, focused, straight, and true.
